Toyah Wilcox has announced she is selling her old worn bras for as little as £20 in a post shared to Instagram on Friday.
The singer-songwriter, 67, was eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing early on in 2024, not making it past the show’s second elimination.
And now she has made the decision to start flogging her old, worn, performance clothing, including her bras and shoes.
Taking to social media in a collaboration with Lovelys Vintage, the dancer showcased a variety of items that will be available.
She said: ‘So for the past two years I’ve been touring, and those are the bras from the stage show.
‘And I was going to throw them away, but I thought to myself ”well, there are going to be people out there who would want them, as sad as they look”.

‘Not the people out there, the bras. They really have been beaten up by lots of tour washing,’ while her assistant was laughing away, holding her head.
The Lovelys Vintage staff member asked once more to confirm the decision: ‘You want me to sell your bras?’
Toyah replied: ‘Either that or just throw them away and tell people which bin they’re in. Let people come and get them.’
The old white bras are part of what Toyah has put up for sale on Toyah’s Wardrobe, which sees items vary from the old bras to dresses, boleros, bags and patent shoes.
The post was captioned: ‘Brace yourselves… too much fun!
‘Even the guy filming couldn’t stop laughing! Swipe left as you can then see the hilarious outtakes.
‘And yes I am selling her bras… this is what a long friendship is all about and we are lucky we have been able to combine business and pleasure with our @toyahofficial and @lovelysvintage collaborations.
‘Join us tonight at 7pm where I [sold] the final pieces from her wardrobe (24.2.26).’
While many items listed by the star have already been covered over by a green sticker reading ‘sold out’, some are still available.
Toyah previously revealed she rejected two Strictly professional dance partners due to their ‘inappropriate age’ before signing up for the BBC show.
She told Daily Mail that bosses were keen to pair her up with Italian Vito Coppola, 32, who’s 34 years her junior, but she refused because of their ‘age discrepancy’.
In an exclusive interview, Toyah explained that she didn’t want to perform ‘intimate’ routines with someone too ‘young’ so also declined to be partnered with Ukrainian dancer Nikita Kuzmin, 26, due to their 40-year age difference.
Toyah said she didn’t want a ‘young person’s head near her crotch’, which was echoed by her co-star and Strictly Glitterball contender Sarah Hadland.
The punk icon, whose hits include the 1981 single Thunder in the Mountains, eventually agreed to team up with Neil Jones, 43, because of his ‘experience’. Together they lasted until week two of the competition.
Revealing she auditioned to be part of this year’s Strictly lineup in May, Toyah reflected on the ‘nerve-wracking process’, saying she was ‘grateful’ to be Vito’s first pick this season.
She said: ‘I did my audition with Vito, who is gorgeous and very energetic. He loved me immediately and said, “this is The One, this is The One” and I’m very grateful for that but it was still nerve-wracking.
‘I told them I did not want to dance with someone when there was a 40-year age discrepancy.
‘I would have hated to do an intimidate dance with someone that young. I said I really want to be age appropriate and dance with someone who is right for my physicality, and I was asked if I would dance with Nikita and I just said look, it’s going to look so wrong.
‘I trusted Neil, he has experience and has the same mental experiences as me. Sarah Hadland and I said we don’t want young people’s heads anywhere near our crotches and I don’t want my head anywhere near their crotches…
‘I said, “Please keep this age appropriate” and the team respected that. Nikita is gorgeous but I didn’t want him to be frustrated performing with an old woman.’
